I was a little apprehensive about coming here, after being disappointed with the bar we were at the previous night (located only a block away from this one), but by the end of the night, I was very happy that we came! I had the house burger, which was perfectly cooked (medium rare), and they had a nice selection of draft beers. One of the bartenders even educated us about the local whiskeys and bourbons. He then made me a delightful cocktail, made from a local whiskey, topped off with fresh-made meringue topping with a twist of lemon. There was also live music that night, made more fun by a group of students who were singing along. Overall, quite an enjoyable night! read more

My husband and I came here while we were on vacation and had a great experience! The restaurant is a cool spot to hang out with great decor. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful when it came to food allergies. We greatly enjoyed the cauliflower appetizer, the drinks, pizza, and the braised short rib yai yai. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who visits the area! Additionally, they had live music which made for a great night! read more

So disappointed. The ambiance was great. We had great expectations. This was our first (and last) visit there. First off, the bartender really messed up on my wife's Cosmo. Had a funny pine needle taste. This was not a problem until she copped a real attitude when we returned. Now mind you the Cosmo is my wife's drink of choice for years and this one didn't come close. The calamari app was plentiful with tentacles which we like. Too bad they had no flavor except the oily and heavy batter. The chicken tender app was so overcooked. Totally dried out. And finally, the whole belly fried clam plate looked wonderful until the first taste. Have no idea what batter and coating were used but it heavily detracted from the clam taste. Clams almost tasteless. The bartender presented our check without the drinks added. I know she was relieved when I pointed this out. I was sure we weren't comped. Didn't have the heart to stiff her for part of the bill which she probably would have had to pay. Overheard say she was a college student. Anyway. Too bad. read more

Had my eye on this place for a while, now that it's open I went in to give it a go and oh man, glad I did! Very well set up and renovated interior, rustic tavern feel that's elevated so great for just coming in for a few drinks or even taking a date out for an evening meal. Sat at the bar and the service was fast and super friendly. Very pleasant all around. Ordered a draft stout which was poured well, the fish and chips for dinner which was tasty, but for me the Cast Iron Olives starter were something different and fantastic. It's a blend of olives, banana peppers and salami seared in a skillet and topped with feta cheese and balsamic reduction, served with toasted rye bread. If you like salty tangy vinegar apps give it a try! Will be back! read more

Brick & Stone Tavern - Cast Iron Olives - Bars Near Me - Rumford, Maine

This place had some really great features, but I want to give as honest a review as possible so hopefully the owner reads and makes a few adjustments cause I seriously believe this place can be a 5 star restaurant. The cooks need to cut their salty dishes with something. I understand that we ordered an olive appetizer which is in and of itself an already salty food. But to add soppressata, feta and more salt it was almost inedible and I absolutely crave salt. The fish and chips batter was inconsistent with their salt applications with some extremely salty pieces and some lacking. The lobster roll I had was amazing; perfectly seasoned, just should come with a slice of lemon. I really wanted to give 4 stars so maybe it's a 3 1/2 for me because their desserts were amazing as well. For what it's worth my grandma could not stop raving and I understand why. I will be back to try more dishes. The server we had was so friendly and helpful and the space is magnificent. Thank you Brick & Stone! read more

TLDR/ great food, service, and ambience in Rumford Maine Driving from Peaks-Kenny State Park in Maine out to Mount Washington in New Hampshire we stopped at the Brick and Stone Tavern for lunch. Was super pleased by just how great this little restaurant was. Firstly, atmosphere, it's an old old historic building, when you get inside, there's a beautiful long bar, lots of large tables for larger groups and then several two and four top tables available for smaller groups , all wood and dim and very rustic and outdoorsy. Just what you would expect in in the area that we're in. Service was super prompt. We were there on a Friday about 1 o'clock for lunch. It wasn't really busy, but there were several tables of people and the bar was almost full with people having lunch. We grabbed a seat and very quickly our server came to get a drink order and was back in a flash to take our food order. My husband ordered the fish and chips. I ordered the lobster roll special, which was lobster meat with tarragon mayonnaise and butter. not one of the mayonnaise types that you get in some areas but it also wasn't a warm lobster roll like I'm used to. It was chilled meat, but the roll was warm and the butter was warm. Food came out really fast. I don't think we waited more than 10 minutes to have our our dishes delivered . Both came with fries big thick cut spiral fries. I think they call them sidewinders. We totally expected to have to ask for a to go box because it was such a generous portion, but the food was so tasty that all that we had left were some fries. The fish fry was a nice size piece of haddock lightly breaded not overly goopy breaded like you get at some places, not greasy at all The lobster roll had quite a bit of lobster with tarragon mayonnaise on the roll and drizzle butter that was $33 which I think is a reasonable price for lobster roll. The fish fry was $22 again not unreasonable price these days. With two sodas and tip, our lunch came to $79 which I guess all things considered, $79 for lunch might be a lot for folks but again if you're on vacation it's nice to splurge. and let's face it, prices are high everywhere right now! On our way out, we ran into a fellow New Jerseyan who's been up here for a month and he said this was his third time coming to the restaurant on their trip. read more

Very Expensive and Average. Not locally owned, a few guys from Massachusetts own it. Probably where they get their prices. Food is ok, not bad but also not worth the price. I'd pop in for a drink and move on. read more

This is a fantastic jewel of a restaurant. The food and service was fantastic. Their commitment to sharing the story of the town's past and being part of its future is also a gift. I am looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for offering such a wonderful experience. We were looking for something away from the mountain but close to Sunday River and we were very happy we found this restaurant. read more

I'm not even sure where to start. Worst experience we have had eating out in years. We walked in with 2 small kids, they sit us not even a foot from the stage but say oh they aren't starting for an hour and a half. Well it was an hour early. My baby was over stimulated between the loud patrons and the loud music. I ended up having to go out to car with my baby. Both kids got chicken tenders, neither would eat them because they were so dark, and gross. It looked to me like fry oil not changed in a long time. Coleslaw tasted like nothing so it was a good palette cleanser I guess. Brought us our food, 0 napkins or utensils. We didn't get those until the end of meal when we flagged down a waitress finally. Then we paid nearly 100 dollars but left hungry and annoyed. Oh and none of the food was on plates or even in a basket but rather weird metal pans with paper. read more

Brick & Stone Tavern - Chicken tenders and fries - Bars Near Me - Rumford, Maine

We went last Sunday early afternoon. I had a great Bloody Mary and Mark had Bacardi and Coke. The bartender was awesome!!! We got 2 apps : Fried Mushrooms and Fried Cauliflower. Mark loved the Cauliflower I only like it (cauliflower in general) but it was nicely battered and had a great dipping sauce. The fried mushrooms were excellent with the dill cream dipping sauce....the only thing I would do next time is ask for no finishing salt on the mushrooms they had plenty of seasoning and it was a tad bit salty with the finishing salt. I ate it all so, it's not a complaint just a personal preference. We will be back for sure cannot wait to try the pizza !!! read more

Amazing food. My sister and I were driving through and the town seemed pretty run down but this place had a beautiful entrance and the food felt fun and fresh. Everything we got was really good. Ended up doing 4 appetizers and each one was mouth watering. read more

Upon visiting Brick and Stone last Friday we were immediately greeted with a server/hostess who smiled and welcomed us.. The chicken wings were delish as was my Panini Reuben and my husbands pizza.. the servers continued to check on us thru our meal and made sure we had all the sauces we needed for our leftovers..Pub was well decorated and clean! kudos to all! Well done ! read more

Trust me when I tell you this place is overpriced! I don't say this because I'm poor and anything as expensive, I eat at excellent restaurants but I do expect to be served good food in adequate portions wherever I am. Their liquor prices are high, however most bars/pubs are. But the dining experience here is out of control! When you pay $12 extra for a salad and have them put steak tips on you expect to receive more than three steak tips. Three, ... For $12! Ridiculous! read more

Ordered a pizza asked for thin crust so I go pick it up and manager says to me we can't make a thin crust pizza anymore. I'm like what? Not to mention they charge almost 19.00 for one topping and it's the size of medium and they call it a large. My 6 year old can make a much better pizza. Won't be going back there. And I hope they close down. read more
